Hey everyone. I'm kinda new to the forums and I didn't know if I could create a thread for this so I though this thread should be a good place to post u.u

So as most of you probably know, Pokémon X/Y will come out this year for the 3DS and until today I really didn't care about it but as I want to play this title I'm starting to think about the possibility of buying it... There's a problem though. I also would like to get a Wii U but I don't want to get both.
Would you please tell me which one you think I should go for and why? Both seem pretty sweet but I'm having trouble deciding which one to pick up. Are the games for 3DS or Wii U any good? Are they really new consoles and that different from the DSi and Wii? Please help =) Thanks!

Why do you want us telling you how to spend your money on hardware and games that you'll be playing?

Official release lists and other upcoming software for both consoles are public and quite visible, as are visual materials for the nearest releases. Look through them, find video footage and previews and see what piques your interest. If there's an individual game for which doing all that still doesn't give you an answer, inquire about that, but simply asking "tell me how to spend my time and money" isn't going to net you any worthwhile answers because it's too wide and general of a question.

Trying to compare the 3DS and the Wii U is going to prove similarly fruitless - one costs almost twice as much as the other and the two are going to provide very different experiences.

To anyone who owns the Wii U version of Sonic and Allstar racing transformed have you experienced the game crashing on you? I just want to know if the game if faulty or if my copy is faulty, before I return it.

So that's the reason why the game's on sale for $29.99 on the eShop right now!

Well, it depends. I mean, it is a Sega published game, as are the Project DIVA games. Not to mention, Phantasy Star Online 2 (which is free-to-play) is bringing in a ton of Miku stuff. So I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for that to happen in All-Stars. Game's not out in Japan, yet, either. So it might help boost things over there, as well.

Unreal Engine 4 is sadly not coming to Wii U.
Nintendo will have to do something about making a gaming engine exclusive to Wii U to make it more like a New Generation console (I'm sick of people calling a Wii U a Current Gen like Xbox 360 or PS3, when in reality it's A NEW-GEN SYSTEM JUST RELEASED A YEAR BEFORE PS4, it's not like a Dreamcast where the damage of failure consoles before took effect on Sega) I hope Nintendo invents a Engine that can support almost any Third party game and run it well! We know Nintendo is smarter than some Xbox and PS fans think!
I still can't wait to update my Wii U this April with the new Frameware and a better HTML5!

No, it is a current-gen console. It's a new console using the same technology powering current-gen systems. That's why it's can't run UE4.

Well I hope so. I just can't remember the last time she was represented in a English game.

No they're not. Honestly, I don't even want to bash the Wii U, but it's getting kinda hard to defend it. The whole "Nintendo is about fun!" argument is getting old. They need to get with the time, I know they can, but they won't. I doesn't matter if the price of the system increases, you're still paying a lot for past gen tech anyway. Not to mention 3rd party guys shying away from it, the reason it has no games.
